About

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m from the San Francisco Bay area and spent my childhood summers camping in Yosemite. My geologist mother was helicoptered into remote areas of Alaska each year to do field work. She passed on her love for the outdoors to me. At age 13 I went backpacking for the first time. We spent 10 days in the gorgeous Adirondacks of Upstate New York. Forget NYC, this was the life for me.

Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a Britalian – my mum’s from England and my dad’s from Italy. I grew up in the foothills of the Italian Alps. In the winter, we’d head into the mountains to sled on plastic tablecloths. After moving to England, my brother and I would backpack in the countryside. In my 20s I fell in love with ultra running and now compete whenever I get the chance.

I have just been reading your exploits and now need a cup of tea and a rest + I need to get my breath back but I am so thrilled that everything is going ok with you both and my prayers for you are there.
I have been extemely busy with http://www.ablequip.com.

Hi, Great to meet you both on the PCT by Paynes Lake. Your goal of hiking the whole PCT really impressed Max, our 10 year old grandson. I was 12 when I first backpacked. It will be fun following your progress over the next couple of months. Any favorite stops in the Seirras? We are ready to hit the trail again.

We are planning a trip to Kings Canyon for next year. Your recommendation firmed up the plans. Next week we may go to Grizzly Lake in the Trinity Alps. We’ll continue to follow your blog. I visited Thousand Island Lake when I was in high school. It is beautiful.

Hi, I’m Jack’s Mom. I am thoroughly enjoying reading your blog as Jack is out there on the CDT too. What technology are you using to send up-dates and photos so often? His GPS allows us to see his whereabouts and with your wonderful writing we are getting vicarious pleasure.
Thanks

We really enjoyed our spell with Jack, and hopefully we will hike with him again. We actually don’t have as much technology as him. We have a cunning trick up our sleve to update our blog eery few days. Every time we get in to town we write a few entries and then schedule them for the coming week… so it appears as though we are blogging every 2 days… even though its every week or so. Thank you for your comment. Tell Jack we are looking forward to puttin in some more miles with him soon!
